State government definitely does not have the power to declare war. And who would they make treaties with? They do however collect taxes and build roads.

what d you think it is

Well, they both can impose taxes. They both have police powers. Both state and federal courts can hear suits alleging infringement of federal constitutional rights. Both are subject to habeas corpus. Both have legislative bodies that pass laws enforceable in their jurisdictions. Both have a chief executive (president or governor) who is in charge of enforcing laws. Both are limited in power by their constitutions, though state constitutions can be trumped by even a federal regulation, if they conflict. 

Basically they both have all the same powers, except that any time a federal law/regulation/constitutional provision/etc. conflicts with a state law/regulation/etc., the federal thing wins under the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution.
